Gilbert Livingston Descendents - Kinkead
Gerald was, in his early days, proprietor of the "Universal Store" in New York, "whose
advertisements and display of wares was the most curious and unique of the period." He then
lived on Pearl Street (Lamb, Hist. of N.Y. City, 1877, v.2, p.308). However, he was in
Poughkeepsie by 1784, as deeds of Chancellor Livingston in that year speak of him as
"formerly of New York but now of Pokeepsie." There is a letter in the Gilbert Livingston
Collection in the N.Y. Public Library, dated Aug. 7, 1790, from him to his brother-in-law Gilbert
Livingston, concerning his bankruptcy. An obituary notice in the Poughkeepsie Journal of
Jan. 19, 1814, states that "he held a commission among the first troops that were embodied
[sic] in the City of New York at the commencement of the late war.
